Chords in this song · guitar

Am G

It feels like falling.

C F C

It feels like rain.

Am C G

Like losing my balance

Em Dm Am

Ag—ain and again.

F Am G

It once was so easy;

C F

Breathe in, breathe out.

Am C G

But at the foot of this mountain,

C F C

I only see clouds.

Am G

I feel out of focus,

C F C

Or at least indisposed

Am C G

As this strange weather pattern

Em Dm Am

Inside me takes hold.

F Am G

Each brave step forward,

C F

I take three steps behind.

A C G

It's mind over matter –

C F C

Matter over mind.

Dm C Am G

Slowly,

Am G C F

then all at once.

Dm C Am G

A single loose thread

Am G C F

And it all comes undone.

Am G

Where there is light,

C F C

A shadow appears.

Am C G

The cause and effect

Em Dm Am

When life interferes.

F Am G

The same rule applies

C F

To goodness and grief;

Am C G

For in our great sorrow

C F C

We learn what joy means.

I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.

Am G

I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.

But I will learn to fight, I will

Dm G

'Til this pendulum finds equilibrium.

Dm C G

----

Dm C Am G

Slowly,

Am G C F

then all at once.

Dm Am G

The dark clouds depart,

Am G C F

And the damage is done.

Dm Am G

So pardon the dust

Am G C F

While this all settles in.

Dm C Am G

With a broo-oken heart,

Am C F

Transformation begins.
